- Reason
- Certain iOS and Android App versions contain a program error (bug) in the Bolus Advisor feature. Due to a software bug, when the OS region of the phone setting is changed, the unit of measure within the app may unexpectedly change. This creates a risk the app might not transfer the blood glucose result or the user might not correctly input numerical values for carbohydrate used for bolus advice.
